Ingredients
- Large whole wheat or spinach tortillas (8-inch)
- Hummus (about ½ cup per wrap; classic or flavored like roasted red pepper)
- Red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- Carrot, peeled and julienned
- Cucumber, thinly sliced or julienned
- Purple cabbage, shredded
- Baby spinach or mixed greens
- Avocado, sliced (optional)
- Fresh lemon juice (a squeeze)
- Fresh herbs like cilantro or parsley, chopped (optional)
- Salt and freshly cracked black pepper (to taste)
Instructions
- Wash all fresh produce thoroughly. Thinly slice the red bell pepper into strips about ¼ inch thick (about 2 oz). Peel and julienne the carrot into matchstick-sized pieces (about 2.5 oz). Slice the cucumber lengthwise and then julienne or cut into thin rounds (about 3 oz). Shred the purple cabbage finely (about 1.75 oz) and rinse the baby spinach or mixed greens (about 1.5 oz). If using avocado, slice it just before assembling to prevent browning.
- Lay your tortilla flat on a clean surface. Using a spreader or butter knife, evenly smear about 2 tablespoons (1 oz) of hummus over the entire surface.
- Start with a handful of spinach or greens, spreading evenly over one-third of the tortilla closest to you. Then layer the red bell pepper strips, carrot julienne, cucumber, and purple cabbage in neat rows. Add avocado slices on top if using. Sprinkle a pinch of salt, black pepper, and a light squeeze of fresh lemon juice over the veggies.
- Scatter chopped cilantro or parsley across the veggies for a fresh burst of flavor (optional).
- Fold the edge of the tortilla closest to you over the veggies snugly, then fold in the sides and continue rolling tightly until fully wrapped. Secure with a toothpick or wrap in parchment paper if needed.
- Using a sharp knife, cut the wrap diagonally in half and serve immediately for maximum freshness and crunch.
Notes
Slice veggies uniformly for balanced crunch. Use about 2 tablespoons of hummus to avoid sogginess. Add lemon juice just before rolling to brighten flavors and prevent avocado browning. Wrap tightly and refrigerate if prepping ahead, consume within 24 hours. Toast in a dry skillet to revive texture if needed.
